    Abstract: An aircraft mission calculation system is configured to calculate an environmental benefit index. The system includes an aircraft trajectory calculation engine, able to calculate at least one potential mission trajectory between a geographic point of origin and a geographic point of destination. The aircraft trajectory calculation engine comprises an environmental benefit index calculation module, able to activate the calculation engine. The environmental benefit index calculation module is able to determine an environmental benefit index (GI) of the potential trajectory from the first amount of carbon dioxide (Q1(TR1)) produced on a first reference trajectory defining a fastest mission, the second amount of carbon dioxide produced on a second reference trajectory (Q2(TR2)), defining a mission minimizing the amount of carbon dioxide produced, and the potential amount of carbon dioxide produced on the potential trajectory.

    Abstract: An aircraft mission calculation system is for indicating a risk of loss of optimality of the trajectory actually flown by the aircraft. The system includes a first trajectory calculation module, configured to calculate an optimal mission trajectory between a geographical point of origin and a geographical point of destination. The first calculation module is configured to calculate a plurality of iso-displacement curves from the geographical point of origin to the geographical point of destination. The system comprises a module for determining a level of risk of loss of optimality of the trajectory actually taken by the aircraft, associated with a modification of the trajectory of the aircraft with respect to the calculated mission trajectory, the display manager displaying on the display, in addition to the calculated trajectory, an indicator of the determined level of risk.
